' Early morning'

My style and compositions show the natural forms of a real world in a semi abstract, expressionistic and /or conceptualistic way. My work has been described as “a reflection and celebration of life in a symbolic manner.” I create paintings with a vivid colour palette usually, many textures, robust energy and a playful style. Creating in strong tonal variations, I constantly challenge my own talent by trying to experiment with subject matters and techniques for new creative effects.

While I use a variety of processes in each project, I mainly work in oil on canvas although I often like to work with acrylics or mixed media. . The subject matter of each body of work determines the materials and the forms of the work. Before I start painting, I draw read and study as much as I can about the specific project I am exploring. I do not merely develop artwork with my brushes. I paint from inside out. I create artworks that are meant to speak to me and to others.
